East India Company, William IIII, Rupee, Silver, 1835

This 1835 Silver Rupee was issued by the East India Company during the reign of King William IIII (William IV). Struck at the Calcutta Mint, it is part of the uniform coinage introduced in 1835 to standardize currency across British India. The obverse features a portrait of King William IIII, while the reverse displays the denomination "One Rupee" within a decorative wreath, along with Persian inscriptions. The "F Incused" variety refers to a distinctive mint mark or die characteristic valued by collectors. Cataloged as GK#14/A-II, this coin is an important piece of early British Indian numismatic history, reflecting the East India Company's growing administrative and economic control over the Indian subcontinent.
